This scene really does drive the idea home that Richard is a careless king, who is only concerned with himself and his own desires as King. When his uncle dies, Richard seizes his land and property and uses this to fund war. He is not concerned with what is due to Henry, he is only concerned with his own interests that he is willing to use his right as king to obtain them, no matter how ill-advised his actions are. Richard walks around as if his world is carefree and nothing can harm him. He make jokes and talks in rhyme which only contributes to the idea that he does not take his role or anyone else seriously. At the end of the scene there is a group of men that decide to turn on Richard in support of Henry, which just shows that the subjects don't have confidence in his abilities as a king.
